Another Auckland house sit and another cute fur-baby! Meet Cocoa who, like a number of other cats we've cared for, loves being close to me as I write. In fact, I've just had to remove her from my lap, as having her head on my arm while trying to type was clearly not working for either of us!

The last few weeks has been incredibly busy, with back-to-back house-sitting assignments, a novel submitted to Kindle Scout in the hope of getting it picked up (totally nail-biting. Pop over to my Welcome page for more info on that and to nominate No Place In Eden if you will!) and another book in the pipeline. And our month in Europe is edging closer too. Just another eight weeks to go!

On the writing front, I’ve set aside a little of my time in England to research background material for what happens next in the Doherty family saga. Not that I ever intended it to be a series. Nor did I ever expect my character’s to end up in London during WW2! And on top of that I have to decide whether to kill off a main character. Which one should it be? Ah, decisions, decisions!
